Step 9 Install Floppy Drive

P11 Floppy Disk Drive Connector

P11 is a 34-pin dual-inline berg. Connect the cable from the floppy drive(s) to P11. The onboard floppy controller
cannot be used if an adapter card with floppy controller is installed.

The motherboard supports up to two 720 KB, 1.44 MB, 2.88 MB 3½" drives and/or 360 KB and 1.2 MB 5¼" floppy
drives. The 34-pin ribbon attaches to P11 and the drives. The cable has a small twist between the floppy connectors.
The end connector is connected to floppy drive A:.
